smith/booth gypsies nottingham

Hi...

Yes you're right, all odd names, but they all went to live in houses and live non-gypsy lives.  But I bet gypsies come from both lines...

I'll have a look about this evening hopefully.  More digging needs to be done.

Hi Kaziah and Jane,

Looks like we all had a quiet night last night.

I now have the Will of William Plumb it was dated 8 Jan 1815 and he died 15 Jan 1815 and it was not proved until 26 Dec 1823 (don't know why that was). the date of death on the Will says 1814 but we know that's wrong most likely as it was proved so many years after death that they forgot what year he died as date of death is only added when Will's are proved.

If you send me a personnel massage with your emails I can send you copies as cannot add it on here as copyrights rules don't allow it.

  thanks so much for this xx

I spent last night looking deeper into the Moore side (frederick's wife Louisa Moore)

I did find more siblings and that they did travel around, but as of yet not confirmed they lived a gypsy life.

With a little help from the American board I have found details on Louisa's sister who went to America with her family.

  Thanks for the will

From what I can read it seems William had money. I think it mentions 'shop'.....garden.....Orchard yard

[swampinstein]

I wonder if there are any directeries for that period online to see if he is under shop keeper
